Someone told me to go into my account settings and delete all of my last name except the first letter and that should do the trick.. that did not work... can someone tell me what to do to so my real name does not show up on my instant messages..

you could do it in TextEdit if you chose to, then save it as a PDF file and send that out to potential employers. If you have the iWork suite of applications, you could use Pages
